MTZ, I'm not referring to action cams though. 4K STARVIS sensors (0.01lux sensitvity) are already filtering into use (very slowly) in CCTV cameras. CCTV turrets are quite small in size and can be subject to direct sunlight just as a dashcam can, albeit only at dashcam temps in hotter countries. I'm not sure what the difference is in thermal terms although it could be the product of some of the encoding and recording being done externally. However, personally I wouldn't rule out a separate recording box in a boot or glove box if thermally it wasn't possible all in one, if the results were worth it and the cost could still be kept reasonable. (It's worth noting police Dashcams already have the camera and recorder split like this).
As for motion blur, motion blur is simply the product the of a slow shutter speed. At night that's unavoidable, although the more sensitive the sensor, potentially the faster the shutter speed possible. In the day, it shouldn't' really be an issue.
Someone on Youtube did a comparison (I'm not sure how they fitted a CCTV camera into their car, but they did), of a 4K STARVIS CCTV camera using one of the latest chips - IMX226 - dash mounted vs Warrier G1S XM and Blackvue DR750S dashcams. The difference is really quite striking even when watched back at 1080P and not 4K. Whilst even the 4K isn't perfect with motion, it's still a great pic compared to the others and shows the potential of some Sony STARVIS sensors.
